Turtles, ibexes, ships, inscriptions... Thousands of engraved and
painted figures intrigue visitors in the wadis of Al-Hajar
Mountains. Who created these enigmatic figures and when were they
made? What are their hidden meanings? For the first time, this
volume tries to answer these questions. It is the result of the
archaeological surveys and investigations undertaken by the author
over the last ten years under the patronage of the Ministry of
Heritage and Culture. In this book, the author takes the reader on
an in-depth journey into the various themes present in the rock art
of Oman. He offers theories on the chronology and interpretation,
while exploring the landscape setting of the decorated panels and
how best to research these. Several beautiful photographs and
scientific tracings of the rock art accompany the text. The volume
closes offering to enthusiasts and tourists a series of guided
visits with GPS maps to the most interesting and visible rock art
sites protected by Royal Decrees of the Sultanate.
